Hello! We the E.R.C are searching ways that we can use solar energy in the Upper Merion Township so that we can live in a clean and beautiful enviorment here in Upper Merion Township. solar energy is a great resource for us to use because it is a clean, non-harmful energy that comes from the sun. This energy would be a fantastic energy to use in Upper Merion Township because it is renewable, it will conserve us energy, and it is free. Upper Merion Township would be a cleaner, more beautiful, and a safer environment because we could conserve energy with the solar energy resource. This is why Upper Merion Township should use solar energy for our new energy.






Advantages
Solar energy will not
pollute are town.


Disadvantages
Solar energy will not work
at all in bad weather.


It will never run out
because it is a natural
recourse.


It requries a large amount
of space which is a big
disadvantage to people who
live in small towns.


Solar energy is a
renewable recourse
and current energy
supply.


Solar energy will not work
at all night because the sun
is not at night.


It creates new jobs
for people who are
not working.


Also, if you live in a cloudy
area it will not work very
well because the sun rays
will not shine on the solar
panels.

Solution: The solution to it not working in bad weather is solar panels can store power in battery that can work then. Next solar planels requreing a large amount of space is easy to fix because you can put solar panels almost any where on the roof,and the side of your house. Also, like the first solution battery can store power works at night, but nobody really uses electricity at night while your sleeping. Last, if you live in a cloudy area you should have a back up just in case so there is no shivering.

Reasons Why: These are the reasons why to use solar energy. First it dose not coast anything for sunlight ,and it is natural. Also the sun will be here for a long time. It will never pollute the earth tooThe good thing about solar is that it creates new jobs that people need because the economy is falling.

If we don't start E.R.C co this is what will happen to our land!!!

Our Group selected this energy becuase it is ecofriendly and is an unlimited energy recource .It has a few problems but nothing we can't deal with. There are alot of advantages that we did not post. Just remember "E.R.C. is the one for me"! You may ask, "Where did this energy come from?" It comes from a natural recourse in the sky called the sun. The next question you may ask is "How does this energy work?" Well the E.R.C. co. knows how. First the E.R.C. will convert the solar energy into thermal energy. Thermal energy will help you heat your homes, schools, greenhouse ,and other work places. Also sunlight composed of photons which contain energy.

This is why Upper Merion Township should use the E.R.C's ecofriendly solar energy resource. It will help save energy ,and money. Also it is good for the earth. Like one solar energy will never pollute the earth or cut down the rainforest. Next Upper Merion will never run out of solar energy because it is natural ,and there is an endless supply of sunlight. Last solar energy is free after you buy solar panels.


=----
The Past: What was the sun and solar energy used for in the past?
=
  1. First a long time ago in the past people would worship the sun.
  2. Also people would think there were sun gods ,and godness.
  3. Next the sun appers in the following religions: Zoroastrianism, Romans, Buddims, Aztecs, Incas, Native Americans, Egyptians, Mesopotamians ,and others.


The Present: What we use solar energy for now?


1. First the sun helps use live ,and keeps things alive.
2. Next some people even hang landary in the sun. to dry
3. Plants also use the sun to make food.
4. It also decays plants to produce coal, oil, and natural gas.



The Future: What we will use solar energy for in the future?

  1. First we'll use central power plants in the future.
  2. We will also use sunlight to heat are water.
  3. Also the E.R.C. will open more solar power plants.
  4. Next we will instal solar panels any where we can to save energy.
  5. E.R.C. will sell cars with PV cells.

What Places are Perfect for Solar Energ


  • Sunny places Examples: Arizona, Calafornia, and any where with lots of sun and no rain)
  • A place where it gets dark late. Why: More sun = More Electricity
  • A place with good weather Examples: places with no Tornadoes, .hurricanes, tsunamis
